Corn Vendor Husking Ears at Mexican Tianguis Market

Golden corn husks scatter across a weathered wooden table under a blue canvas canopy. A vendor in a white shirt pulls fibrous layers from bright yellow cobs, revealing rows of kernels. Sunlight falls through the fabric, creating soft, diffused patches on the rough wood and the vendor's hands. Red and green spice powders dust the air and settle on the corn, adding vibrant speckles to the scene. Behind the table, stacks of woven sacks and colorful plastic containers line the stall. The late afternoon light casts long, gentle shadows across the produce, highlighting the texture of the dried husks and the smooth skin of the kernels. A small pile of discarded husks rests near the vendor's elbow.
